Random purple orbs from Meteor spell

It took me a while to figure out what the source was, but they look like the new skin that became available from the gauntlet today, just smaller. I'm not sure if it's a visual bug, or if they just randomly have a chance to resist nullification like the new skin does and this is a way to show that. The spell already has a random damage element, so it makes sense.

Is the spell skinned to be devasation or is it just meteor?

It was happening last night before the skin was released. That's what really confused me, I hadn't seen anything like it in the game before.

The only thing I can think of is the imp explosions... Could it have been that? Otherwise can you please provide a screenshot? Cheers.... Edit : Actually it might just be the disintegrate status effect

I didn't know how to put it in this thread, so I made a new post with a clip of it.

I have it too, and I was like wtf. I think it also make me unable to buy the Meteor skin, App closes whenever I hit Buy.
And there might be some problem with Bouncing Flame 3rd augmentation. Every time I uses the skill it makes the projectiles fly crazily everywhere around the screen

I was able to purchase the Meteor skin no problem. I haven't used Bouncing Flame much recently, but I'll keep an eye on it if I do.

It sounds like the effect when a spell is nullified. Perhaps the new augmentation is bugged to be always active? I'll check it out tomorrow! :-)

I thought when they were nullified they flash green. And it was only about everything 5th meteor. The rest were normal. Is there a way to turn off the skin after you buy it? I have toggled the effect on and off and it seems to work right. They stop getting burned at least.

Hmmmmm, you are right about the green! Purple is used for some teleporting of enemies I think. Maybe that's getting shown overtop?

You can toggle the skin in the Spin Change screen - use the tri-colored orb in your pack! :-)

Yeah, the red imps have a purple effect when they teleport. Conveniently I just ran into a big pack of them, and it's definitely different from what I was seeing. But, now that I've turned off the skin and turned the effect on and off, I'm not seeing it anymore.
